Heads to bench Sunday Kepler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kepler has started all six games since returning from the injured list last weekend, but he'll take a seat Sunday after going 0-for-25 with a walk and a run. Jake Cave will man right field in the series finale versus the Halos.

Empty line in return Kepler (toe) went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Impact Kepler missed nearly two weeks with a broken toe, and he didn't partake in a rehab assignment prior to returning from the injured list. The 29-year-old should resume a role as the starting right fielder versus right-handed pitchers. His 0-fer Saturday dropped his slash line to .241/.340/.385 through 86 games this season.

AUGUST 6, 2022 • TWINCITIES.COM
Back from IL, starting Saturday Kepler (toe) was activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
Impact Mark Contreras was sent down to make room on the roster for Kepler, who will man right field and bat fifth against right-hander Mitch White in his return to the Minnesota lineup. While Kepler has not developed into a star player, he is an above-average contributor when he has the platoon edge (116 wRC+ this season), so he should play against most righties down the stretch.

Could return this weekend Manager Rocco Baldelli said Thursday that it's "possible" Kepler (toe) is activated from the 10-day injured list sometime this weekend, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Impact Kepler has been running, hitting and throwing recently and felt good after working in the outfield Wednesday. The 29-year-old is eligible to return as early as Saturday, and he's closing in on his activation. Once Kepler is reinstated from the injured list, he should reclaim regular playing time in the Twins' outfield.
